About TooManyAddons
The only mod manager you will ever need. Click 'load profile', and TMA will load the checked, and only the checked, addons.
Great for if you regularly raid or PvP/Arena.
Directions:
- There is a new 'addon' button in* the game menu, that opens up the TooManyAddons interface.
- '/TMA' will also open up the interface.
- Create a profile by typing in the profile name and hitting enter, or you can use the Default profile.
- Select which addons you want to load as part of the profile.
- When it is time to change addons, select the profile(s), then click 'Load Profile'
features that aren't instantly obvious:
- '/TMA aProfile' will instantly load * that profile. Handy for you macrophiles. Spelling must be exact.
- The interface can be moved by dragging the 'profile' frame. You have to click on the edge of the frame or a clear spot.
- A profile called 'Default' is created at the very first use of TooManyAddons, for your convenience. Feel free to delete it.
- A profile called 'Always Load These Addons' will always exist. Anything checked in this profile will always load, no matter what. The checked items will appear grey or shiny in other profiles. By default, TooManyAddons will be checked in this profile.
- Tooltips show you the description, author and status of the addon.
- Clicking an addon will automatically click all of its dependencies.
- Profiles from other characters can be added to the current profiles using the 'import profiles' dropdown.
- The addon can be closed with the 'esc' key.
- Addons may be grouped by name. Collapse/Expand buttons allow you to hide addons that are groups, for example, the AltasMod. Clicking the group header will click all of the addons in the group. Turn this feature on by clicking 'grouping' in the options.
- Hold down the Ctrl or Shift key when selecting profiles to load addons from multiple profiles. Changes made to addons will affect all selected profiles.
- The last loaded profile(s) will appear green(ish).
- Options exist in the interface menu (or click the little 'O' button) to hide the Game Menu button, tooltips, groups, and more.
- Global profiles are now implemented. Global profiles are profiles that are the same across ALL characters.
- Profiles can be arranged by dragging them up or down the list

I've been using LoadIT for a few months now, every since I got sick of rMCP, which is one of many Master Control Programs that do the same thing. The various MCP programs didn't have the profiles how LoadIt does. I suggest checking out loadit, perhaps you can improve upon it. It has a few missing buttons and other issues.
I was interested enough to see yours, because I use loadit, and I'm always looking for alternatives, espeically more compact, less memory intensive ones (especially ace). I keep about the same number of addons you do.
I'm going to check this out, Loadit is giving me a few issues that your addon may not. Please keep up the work, just because there is LoadIT doesn't mean its the end all. Plus its been abandoned and picked up by a fan for updates. Not the same as being worked on by someone dedicated to the project.
Addon is working nicely! Check out how some of the other addon managers give you a description of each addon as well, and tell u which ones are and are not loadable on demand. =)
Trying it now, and I do like it better than LoadIT. If you add a button to the main interface menu like LoadIT has, I think it would be nearly perfect.
I am very interested in this addon, but can't seem to figure out how to make different sets. I don't see a "Edit profile" button, and so far haven't been able to actually save a set profile name. Any suggestions?
I noticed something odd.
When I'm presented with the checklist of the addons I want to add to the profile, it includes addons that I no longer have, and whose .lua and .bak files I already deleted from the SavedVariables folders. I have no idea how it even knows I had those addons before, but is there some way it can be set to just show present existing addons?
Extremely crude hackjob indeed... however it works and is quick to deal with. This makes it my choice of manager over the other overcomplicated managers. LoadIT was just ... ugh I dunno, poorly thought out in how you USE it.
Although this mod could use for some interface backgrounds, and some alignments here n there... its simplicity in working and allowing multiple profiles per toon (cause sometimes toons have different needs!), makes it useful to me.
Thanks for "hacking this together" =)
I changed things a bit, like eliminating the 'edit' button. No need for a 'save' button (like outfitter or other mods have) - everything is permanantly in edit mode now. As soon as you click something, its saved.
I like the addon description popping up in the tooltip idea. I will do that next...just need to figure out tooltips... and then i will put a button in the main menu, or maybe a minimap button.
thanks guys.
Alignment issues was my comment. Im partly an interface designer... so I see things that normal people dont, and then I complain about them =)
Alignment issues would be:
- When clicking on a saved profile, the edit window is put to the left (left aligned), when it would be more logical to make it open to the right side.
- The edit window is shifted downwards from the top of the main window, so its not aligned there.
- The profile name/create new profile button area is aligned in a way that it overlaps the top of the profile listing.
You know... various interface wackiness is all. But the mod works, and I love it, so I can overlook all that stuff =) Its only ever on screen maybe ten seconds since it works as easy as it should... so I wouldn't worry too much about it.
As for tooltips, those are fairly straightforward to hook into a blizzard function. You could download various 2.2 compliant mods and see how people do them. Do a multi-file search on whatever you download for: GameTooltip ... then you should see a bunch of lines, like adding text, then showing the tooltip and the likes. Maybe help you out.
Many people used custom tooltips before 2.2 and blizzard changed stuff and thats why many mods 'broke' tooltips, because they were doing things which conflicted with the built in. Try to avoid that =)
Ok, it was really easy to add a button to the game menu. Really really easy. I couldn't figure out blizzard tooltips so I made my own tooltips. Its crude but still an improvement. So now version 1.4 has your ideas. Thanks for your suggestions guys.
As for the old addons appearing in the list, that was a bug, should be fixed now.
And someone mentioned 'alignment' issues? what does that mean?
Had a suggestion you could add... as I did this by accident too many times =)
While testing and debugging other mods, I tend to do a "load nothing but:". However I keep forgetting to ALSO click on TooManyAddons to load as well (narf!).
So, maybe a feature of, if someone uses TMA to load/unload addons, that it ALWAYS adds ITSELF to the load list, so that you have it after doing a reloadui? That way people cant accidently unload TMA and then be stuck with having to completely logout/in to get it back hehe.
Your call. I'm still loving this mod.
I did this too. Feature incoming. I think you'll like what i have in mind. :)
Many new changes! Improved tooltips, a 'load always' profile, a default profile, auto-load dependencies, interface adjustments, draggable frames and a new screenshot.
I included your changes FrigidMan. I didn't like the huge global frame though; i just made the profile frame movable. Thank You!
Working nice. The Always Load is a good idea. A little confusing at first, but clearly obvious how it works. Maybe future updates you could make it so any item in an active-editing profile that is to always load, will have like a lock icon that you cant uncheck or something *shrug* it works either way though =)
Good work on the mod! I still love it, and enjoy the new additions you made to it.
